The Aberdeen Pioneer. In an article
relative to the proposed admission ss a
whole convention in Aberdeen, says:
1t has been proclaimed far and wide
that the coming convention to be held
in this city will not tolerate any poll
ticlans, it is to be farmers' convention,
only sons of the toll ss representing the
masses of the people will run that insti-
tuition. BY whom has this movement,
even before the official vote is announced,
been engineereds Is it the politician or
the farmer? Look ct the names under
the call and any honest man must admit
that the latter element is poorly repre-
sented. 1t is the old dodge, but will IL
work. The people OF Dakota have de.
cided in favor OF division and go must II
ba.
In Yankton county the call was signed
by such distinguished agriculturalists as
L. D. Palmer, Otto PeemilIer, J. 7. Sar,

meisser, Fred Meth, j. Fl. Balmas
p. O. Ell .mann and j. j. Felber. These
are farmers, are they? Not one in the
assortment knows the difference between
q corn cultivator and hay stacker, from
any practical use of either implement
And they are not politicians? Six OF the
twelve are now holding Office and three
of the other six have been industriousl;
before the people for office ever since the
puplic can remember and are still willing
to ssorifioe themselves. They are the
only twelve men in Yankton county who
could be indnced to sign an admission
as whole circular and three quarters o
them are the most lnverate politician
in our midst. This is Yaukton county
It is probable that the signers from th,
other counties would show up in abou
the same proportion.

DON'T WONDER. When the
President had concluded his "fish-
ing out" and started for Washing
ton, he separated from his wife at
Albany, and she, attended by a
lady friend, went in an ordinary
car to Oswego. This circumstance
is being literally commented on by
many newspapers, the editors point
ing out that it is a particularly not
able instance of the beatitude of
Repu blican institutions. That the
incident should excite the wonder
of anybody who is familiar with and
can understand and appreciate free
institutions must excite greater
wonder. 1t would be remarkable
if the lady should not be able to
travel just as she did. When it
shall come that the wife of the Pres
ident or the President himself can
not go and come as other people go
and come; when it will be that they
are unsafe in their going aud COM
ing; when it shall be that they must
be guarded and protected, that
what is good enough for their fell
low citizens is not good enough for
them, we may all express great
wonder, and tremble for the SIM
plicity and democracy which have
made the republic great and glor-
ious and brought its people closer
together than are the people of any
other nation on earth. If Mrs.
Cleveland could not go from Albany
to Oswego unprotected, as the wife
of citizen enjoying temporary
power and authority, it would be
terribly suggestive of monarchy,
and have about it an ugly look of
dynamite. Let us not wonder that
things are as they were to be, and
as they should be; let us rather show
our wonder when there shalt come
a change, and we cease to live in a
free republic.
